AM5728: Setting up RSE connection on Code Composer Studio

Part Number: AM5728

Hi,

I am trying to follow the tutorial on link below to build up a RSE connection with my AM5728 EVM. However, I don't think my network is set up properly. It says in the tutorial that you can find your EVM IP by typing ifconfig. When I do this is the output I see:

root@am57xx-evm:~# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr A0:F6:FD:BD:A1:A8  
          inet6 addr: fe80::a2f6:fdff:febd:a1a8/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1355 errors:0 dropped:45 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:34 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:178451 (174.2 KiB)  TX bytes:5741 (5.6 KiB)
          Interrupt:90 

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr A0:F6:FD:BD:A1:A9  
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:65536  Metric:1
          RX packets:153370 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:153370 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:10736164 (10.2 MiB)  TX bytes:10736164 (10.2 MiB)

Using ethtool eth0 command, I can see that the link is detected. So I used the inet6 address to set up the RSE connection. In Code Composer Studio my Host Name is given set to "FE80::A2F6:FDFF:FEBD:A1A8" and I connect as root with no password. Then I click on Sftp Files->My Root and IDE displays an error message "Operation failed with exception 'java.lang.NullPointerException'" I am also sending the screenshot to illustrate this.

What is the issue here? How can I set the RSE properly?

Thanks for all the help,

Screenshot:

  • It turns out the company's network was blocking unidentified MAC addresses. Once I registered the device I issued the following commands to set an IP:

    ifconfig eth0 192.168.167.41 netmask 255.255.0.0             
    ifconfig eth1 192.168.167.42 netmask 255.255.0.0

    After that I was able ping my PC, and the RES connection was succesfully established.
